Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radio head
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you


in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world

And in other life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away


I was dreaming you were my Johnny Cash
Never one we got the other we made a pact

Sometimes when I miss you I put those records on whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues

It's time to face the music I'm longer your muse




And in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world

And in another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away


The one the one the one
The one that got away


All these money can't buy me a time machine no
Can't replace you with a million rings no

I should've told you what you meant to me whoa
'Cause now I pay the price


In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises be us against the world
And in another life I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away


The one the one the one the one

And in another life I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away
